The Best Part of Me {A Poetry Writer's Workshop}

This writer's workshop unit is based on the book The Best Part of Me by Wendy Ewald. Students will work for two weeks to learn the skills and strategies needed to write a poem about the best parts of themselves.

Included in this unit you'll find:

• 9 detailed mini-lessons with suggested text recommendations
• scaffolded and differentiated student activities
• 3 figurative language lessons: similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia
• 3 additional figurative language practice pages
• lessons to guide students to work with line breaks and white space in their poems
• publishing pages and recommendations

I've used these lessons for over a decade in my own classroom, and I can assure you they are student-tested and approved. I hope you and your students love these lessons as much as we have. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have prior to purchasing!
